Board Meeting Minutes, June 5 2017

Bridger Creek Subdivision Community Association
Board of Directors’ Meeting
Monday, June 5, 2017

The meeting was called to order at 6:05 pm at Tom Wilson’s house.
Board members:  Sharyn Anhalt, Tom Wilson, Dian Bottcher, Karin Jennings and Dorick Savageau were present

Approval of Minutes The minutes from the Board Meeting held May 22, 2017 were approved unanimously without modification.

Easement Request for Murphy Property Following review and discussion a motion was made for the Board to sign the revised Utility Easement between the Association and the City with the legal changes required by the City; which was approved unanimously. Per the terms of the Utility Easement it will not “become valid and effective until such time as the benefited property has received final site plan or final subdivision plat approval from the City of Bozeman.” The previous agreement between the Association and Golf Course Partners will also be updated to reflect the new Utility Easement date.

Stormwater Systems – Dorick reported that he presented sharing of maintenance costs for the subdivision’s stormwater systems to Golf Course Partners and reported that Golf Course Partner’s answer is “no”. Following further discussion it was agreed that Tom will seek bids from Morrison Maeirle (original engineering firm for development of the subdivision) as well as others to initiate review of the stormwater systems for the next steps, including budgeting.

Management Company – Tom reported that he contacted several (4-5) companies with experience managing homeowner’s associations. Several expressed that they were too busy to take on any more associations. Tom will follow up with and obtain a proposal from one company to circulate for review by the Board and further steps, if any.

Lot Maintenance – Following discussion the Board agreed to draft and send a letter to owners of vacant lots that are not mowing or managing noxious weeds. It was further agreed to not take action on complaints regarding developed lots due to the subjective nature of such complaints. Noxious weed complaints can be reported directly to the County for enforcement (http://gallatincomt.virtualtownhall.net/Public_Documents/gallatincomt_weed/ComplaintForm2017.pdf).  

Dues Notices – A motion was made to submit annual dues notices by mail in the amount of $75/lot for FY July 1, 2017 – June 30, 2018; which was approved unanimously.

The meeting was adjourned at 7:30 pm.
